Advancing Search and Rescue: FlySight seamlessly integrates OPENSIGHT with top-tier technology

Nov 14, 2023

Advancing Search and Rescue: FlySight seamlessly integrates OPENSIGHT with top-tier technology, now extending collaboration to Lifeseeker Technologies after a successful partnership with Artemis.

In its unwavering commitment to advancing Search and Rescue (SAR) missions, FlySight has made significant strides by integrating OPENSIGHT with two of the industry’s best-in-class mobile phone detection, location, and communication systems: Artemis by Smith Myers and Lifeseeker by CENTUM.

The latest integration between OPENSIGHT and LIFESEEKER, combined with the cutting-edge technology of DJI drones, marks a significant leap forward in the realm of search and rescue missions.

OPENSIGHT and LIFESEEKER Integration: A Game-Changer

The collaboration between OPENSIGHT and LIFESEEKER will be showcased at EUROPEAN ROTORS 2023 and introduces a integration aimed at maximizing the efficiency and capabilities of DJI drones. The OPENSIGHT Software Development Kit (SDK) seamlessly integrates with DJI drones, elevating them into STANAG-Compliant sensors with state-of-the-art capabilities.

The OPENSIGHT-mission console (mc), housed within a tablet ground control station, incorporates moving maps and augmented reality functionalities. This interface provides operators with real-time information, overlaying multiple synthetic layers onto live video feeds. The result is an unparalleled situational awareness that enhances the effectiveness of search and rescue missions.

Lifeseeker: Enhancing Geolocation Performance

Lifeseeker, the airborne phone location system developed by CENTUM, plays a crucial role in enhancing geolocation performance during SAR operations. Even in challenging low or no visibility conditions, Lifeseeker compatibility significantly improves the accuracy and reliability of location data.

The collected information from Lifeseeker is transmitted in real-time to the OPENSIGHT engine, creating an optimal situational awareness for operators. This enhancement accelerates and maximizes the efficiency of recovery operations, setting a new standard in search and rescue capabilities.

Héctor Estévez, CEO of CENTUM, expressed the significance of the partnership with FlySight:

This partnership with FlySight is a testament to our commitment to saving lives and making a difference in critical situations. By integrating our Lifeseeker technology with the OPENSIGHT Software Development Kit, we’re not only enhancing the capabilities of DJI drones, but also expanding our reach to helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft. We are pushing the boundaries of technology to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of search and rescue operations.

Héctor Estévez, CEO of CENTUM research & technology

The integration of OPENSIGHT, LIFESEEKER and DJI drones represents a great step forward in the capabilities of airborne search and rescue operations. As technology continues to advance, these collaborations demonstrate a commitment to innovation, efficiency and saving lives in critical situations.

FlySight is proud to announce the official release of MAP CREATOR, a cutting-edge software tool developed to radically simplify and accelerate the preparation of map datasets for real-time 3D visualization.

Designed as a core component of the OPENSIGHT platform, MAP CREATOR allows users to transform raster, elevation, and vector data into optimized MBTILES — a standard format for tiled offline maps — with just a few clicks.

MAP CREATOR boasts a modern, intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI) that eliminates the need for command-line skills or programming knowledge. Users can upload individual files or entire folders, preview content, apply smart styling rules, and generate ready-to-use map packages in record time. The tool supports a wide variety of geospatial formats, including TIFF, JPG, PNG, ECW, DTED (DT0, DT1, DT2), and shapefiles (.shp), ensuring flexibility across both commercial and defense applications.

What truly sets MAP CREATOR apart is its deep integration with OPENSIGHT Mission Console, making it not just a pre-processing tool but a strategic asset for mission planning and real-time operations.

Avionic Operators can now generate, preview, and load custom maps directly into the console environment — enhancing situational awareness and reducing reliance on external processing tools.

Among its standout features are:

⚙️ Smart vector styling with attribute-driven rules

⚙️ Support for terrain-aware vector rendering using elevation sources

⚙️ 3D extrusion and label rendering for intuitive map outputs

⚙️ High-performance raster and elevation tiling with multiprocessing support

⚙️ Advanced MBTILES merging to build seamless base layers and overlays

“MAP CREATOR represents a major step forward in geospatial usability,” said Mattia Carpin, Head of Engineering at FlySight. “It combines the technical power of our SDK with the simplicity and visual control today’s users expect.”

MAP CREATOR is now available as part of the latest OPENSIGHT SDK and with OPENSIGHT Mission Console. For demos, licensing, or partnership inquiries, contact FlySight’s commercial team.

FlySight team constantly develops cutting-edge solutions to provide real-time support in defence and security operations decision making.
